I always misunderstand "a perfect storm" as a good thing
the rain descending as a blessing, lightning as fireworks
the flood muscled and insubstantial as a willful idea
also time bears no shape whether watched or hourglassed
so tell me how we've spent these years trying to change
our fate, how we believe we aren't a twist of... faith
we may have forged only paper boats for these times
but then they don't have to come back to tell us
we already know there is no tempest or tide

About climate change?
StephLove--I wasn't actively thinking of climate change, but I can see it now that you've mentioned it. India and Pakistan have been experiencing horrific heat waves, and that has been on my mind a whole lot.
